New York on October 21 authorities detained Andre de Gurroski a Russian nobleman arriving from Europe aboard the steamer Philadelphia. He has lived in the United States 27 years and resides near Evington Virginia where he owns a 700 acre tobacco plantation. Gurroski claims farms near New York City and in Florida and his American wife, educated and multilingual, spends much time there. Officials offered few details on the charge, and Gurroski says the accusation of being a Russian revolutionary is ridiculous. He is well known in Lynchburg and may be able to prove he is not subject to deportation.
